A Venezuelan expatriate condemned New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats for promoting socialist policies.

“Socialism is what destroyed Venezuela. There’s nothing for free in the world. Somebody is going to have to pay for it. The people who will have to pay for it will end up being us — young people, millennials,” said Martino.

Martino was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. He moved to the United States in 2016 and is studying economics at Indiana University and Purdue University Indianapolis.

Well, it's about time somebody stepped up to call socialism the cancerous economy-killer it is.

I can hear all the lefties now, claiming this Venezuelan kerfuffle isn't real socialism. Whenever socialism goes south, lefties don't try a new system, they makes excuses. Methinks not too many folks are falling for that bullhickey anymore.

I doubt this guy's warning is gonna dissuade Artesia Oceanic-Complex and her ilk from turning the U-S-of-A into a giant sh*thole. They're hellbent on tanking the economy standing up for the working man, and they're not about to let facts get in their way. Pathetic.
